PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
(Company) Boulder, CO
MANUFACTURING
TOOL DESIGNER – Member of the technical staff.
Developed semi automated and automated tooling for a DWDM optical
switch manufacturing line. Tooling optically aligned fiber input/output
blocks to free-space optical components. This process included vacuum and manual
pick and placement of components to submicron positions (<0.5um and
<0.2 degrees). Multiple
machine vision systems were used to provide alignment feedback and ensure
tolerance locations were met. Aerotech
precision stages were used to move components into location. All tooling components, materials and
finishes met class 100 clean room requirements. Coordinated manufacturing process development,
which consisted of work instruction development, tolerance and gage R&R
studies and tool qualification and calibration. Implemented torque drivers
throughout the line. Designed
and developed cleaning fixtures/kanban storage. Designs produced in compliance with ASME
Y14.5M 1994 Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing using SolidWorks CAD
system. {January 2001-May
2002}
(Company) Longmont, CO
SENIOR
PROCESS ENGINEER/LEAD – Implemented process to install top covers onto
disk drives in a high volume production environment for both existing
and New Product Introduction. This process included the placement of
the Head Disk Assembly and top cover into the fixture and maintaining
alignment of +/-.005 @3 sigma between the two components while driving
screws to a required torque. This
station involved the use of a torque driver, screw presenters, Seiko robot
and fixture. Footprint of the station 24” X 24” X 60”.
Robot picked, placed and installed screws. Process included all qualifications of
tool, CpK studies, sequence card, maintenance/setup procedures and calibration
procedures of the station. {January
1999-January 2001}
SENIOR
TOOL ENGINEER - Managed projects designed in house as well as out of house.
Tooling projects included Top Cover install, Boardmate install
and Current Controlled Torque Driver.
Wrote and maintained schedules and budget information associated
with projects. Presented information to management as
needed. Developed solutions
to maintain project requirements.
Performed and managed all tooling design aspects, including modeling,
detailing, documenting, procuring, and tolerance/CpK studies. Produced designs in compliance with ANSI
Y14.5M-1982 Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing. Used Pro/E and AutoCAD CAD Systems. {September 1996-January 1999}
SENIOR
PRODUCT DESIGNER - Designed and redesigned mechanical components including
layouts used in the 3.5 disk drive product. Designed and maintained cast and machined
actuator, disk clamp, bearing cartridge, voice coil and voice coil motor.
Also responsible for tooling, test fixtures and ISO 9000 auditing. Produced designs in compliance with ANSI
Y14.5M-1982 Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing. Using Pro/E and AutoCAD
CAD Systems. {February 1995-September
1996}
HSA
(Head Stack Assembly) TOOL DESIGNER/CHECKER - Designed, redesigned and
coordinated tooling projects, including design of fixtures, mechanisms
and motion control systems used to manufacture Head Stack Assemblies.
Coordinated the fabrication and assembly of assigned tooling projects
while maintaining tight schedules requirements.
Interacted within the tooling group to check and answer Geometric
Dimensioning and Tolerancing problems.
Produced designs in compliance with ANSI Y14.5M-1982 Geometric
Dimensioning and Tolerancing. Used Unigraphics and AutoCAD CAD systems. {July 1992-February 1995}
(Company) Boulder, CO
QUALITY
ASSURANCE/MECHANICAL DESIGNER - Developed and implemented process specifications
used in manufacturing and quality control environments. Devised and designed
production tooling to facilitate engineering and quality requirements.
Interacted with vendors to insure quality requirements were understood
and maintained. Produced
and maintained drawing documentation.

DESIGNER/DRAFTER IV - Designed electromechanical and mechanical components
from conceptual through to the manufacture phase.
Devised, designed and redesigned tooling associated with all levels
of manufacturing and quality control.
All designs and documentation were produced in compliance with
DOD-STD-100 and ANSI Y14.5M-1982 Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing.
{November 1986- May 1991}
